I was -not- paid to make this video. In fact, it's the first video I've ever edited, so I certainly wouldn't have paid me to make this video. Though all things considered, I think it came out pretty okay?

thanks for posting this. It helped me decide to back this. On a side note, I'd be interested in watching full playthroughs of this, of equal quality, so I can read the cards and see the thought process.

Thanks y'all!! Best tutorial video I have found for this game. You cover all the issues of "summoning" units to the battlefield which are still a bit unclear in the rulebook :-). Thanks a million! Going to play now...

Anyone else think of Jaina Proudmoore every time he says "Jaina"?

Hey Ryan. Thank you for putting this tutorial video for newcomer codex players. I just received my deluxe edition, and played my first game. I have several questions/clarifications that I was unable to find in your video/the official rule book. Please address the following: 1) Can spells be played the first turn a hero is brought to the field (assuming tech level/gold requirements are met)? 2) While an enemy has a squad leader position filled, do all unit/hero damaging spells have to target that squad leader as well or does apply to only unit/hero attacks? 3) For the +2 level up reward for your hero when an opposing hero is killed, does the hero you want to level up have to kill the opposing leader or can you kill it with any unit/hero/spell and apply the level up to any of your heroes on the field? 4) Do neutral factions count toward the multi-color faction gold penalty? 5) Does surplus change your max hand size to six? 6) If an opponent has tech 1, 2, and 3 does destroying tech level 1 stop the enemy from playing anything above tech 0 due to the tech chain being broken or just the specific tech level destroyed? 7) If a tech building is destroyed on your opponent's turn, while it is rebuilding can you build the next level tech building (assuming worker/gold requirement met) or must you wait till the next turn when re-construction is complete? 8) Does fruit ninja's +1 frenzy bonus stack with the patrol zone elites bonus (+1 attack) giving it +2 additional attack? Thank you in advance!

Good, clear tutorial video on what seemed to be Sirlin's magnum opus but has almost no coverage. Seems neat enough I guess with a lot of existing concepts tacked together. Really don't like the Codex reading during your opponent's turn though.

Very well done. Thanks for posting it!

When a card says "do 2 damage to a building", does that mean that you can choose which building to attack? Like if the opponent has a Tech I and a Tech II building erected, can you elect to attack the Base? Or do you have to attack the highest Tech building which they have active?

[JeffreyQProductions]

When you bring out a card, like merfolk prospector, you can't use abilities that turn can you? As in, she can't bring him out, then tap him for another card? He's got summoning sickness? And also, when you build a tech building, do you have to wait until your next turn to summon applicable tech units?

Can you have more than 5 cards in your hand during anytime in the game?

Do you not remove damage on LVL up from Hero?
